Claudia Winkleman looked incredible on Saturday night when she stepped out to present the first full live show of Strictly 2024.
The TV presenter, 52, took to the ballroom alongside co-host Tess Daly in a fabulous billowing beige gown as this year's celebrities, including JLS' JB Gill and actress Sarah Hadland, competed for the first time.

Meanwhile, Tess completed the duo in a fiery red power suit. Her sandy blonde hair was styled in stunning blowdry for makeup she sported a glossy lip and shimmery eyes.
Claudia's Strictly style
The former BBC Radio 2 broadcaster made a statement during Strictly's launch show last Saturday night in a mesmerizing power suit.

She even wore her glossy locks in a high ponytail as she embraced Tess who looked like a perfect mermaid in a rose gold sequinned halterneck gown.
Claudia's iconic fringe
Whatever she wears on a Saturday night in the Strictly ballroom, fans can expect she will make a statement with her signature full fringe.

"It also makes you look put together from the get-go," Claudia explained. "Even if I'm wearing what I slept in (an oversized disgusting T-shirt and an ancient pair of my teenage daughter's leggings) if you've got a fringe you're pretty much sorted. You've done half the work, you've got attitude."
